If it's a season pack, I'd be content with just the drama cds (either with translation in the booklet or dual audio) and translated "info pamphlets" (the ones with character sketches and the 4-koma skits).

If you mean on the discs themselves, we probably aren't likely to get much more than NCOP and NCED.

I'm all for translated supplement material. Interviews and other stuff are great too. I love the interview in the art book from Garden of Sinners and NIS' art book material is great. Learning more about a series you love is the best.

I also like that idea.

I think I already have a good idea who would voice Kyuubey for the English dub:

Johnny Yong Bosch ／人◕‿‿ ◕人＼

using his Renton Thurston voice, will capture the obvious evilness.

I hope Madoka gets an English dub. If not, I'm going to use every swear and offensive term in the book and put the blame on this idiot named jlskun in Twitter.

No, no, we need someone who's voice radiates good intentions for the start of the show and can do "I don't get why you're calling me 'evil.'" later on.

Did he say something like, "A Madoka dub will ruin the show or something. Don't do it Aniplex!"? Something like that, right?

[FireChick]

Great news! Madoka Magica Dub = CHECK!!!

[Shadow Angel]

As long as Homura and Kyoko get good voices I'll be happy.

[Master_Yoma]

They're really going all out to make sure it looks like nothing more than an utterly normal Magical Girl series, aren't they? Only Homura really stood out at all in that regard.

Thanks for the tip.

Nothing really special, it's just the old ad they used to show in Japan prior to the show started, only now it has English subs.

It's special in the sense that it is not special. I read many complains about that, in particular that an advertisement approach similar to that used in Japan won't be suited for the USA, but I'm not so sure myself in that regard.

I don't necessarily think that the basic content of the advertisement needs to be changed. PMMM was going to be somewhat difficult to market from an American perspective anyway, since the anime's visuals scream "for girls" to most western eyes, while the actual narrative content screams "for adults" to most western eyes. I'm talking about the general populace of America here (many of which still vaguely remember Sailor Moon), not dedicated anime fans from America who are now accustomed to magical girl shows aimed at older (and often male) audiences.

I wonder, though, about not getting the lines dubbed by whoever they intend to voice the PMMM roles before putting out the advertisement.

It worked to get a lot of people off on the wrong foot, to get them to think that they were going to get a generic Mahou Shoujo show. Heck, even I believed that (largely because I wasn't aware of who Gen Urobuchi was, nor was I familiar with his work) and I was quite happy to be proven wrong.

So, I'm sure it's possible that this will work in the US as well. The only problem I can see is that most people will probably be familiar with this show already, and thus won't be impressed with this ad. Still, those who've never heard of this show, nor know anyone who has seen it or read reviews about it, they might fall for it.
